— The story

Modern Thai,
boldly seasoned.

Chef Tammasak Chootong opened the first SUAY in Phuket Town in 2010, channelling a lifelong dream into a kitchen where European technique meets the Thai pantry. Today, the flagship lives in Cherngtalay — awarded the Michelin Plate eight years in a row, and led by one of Thailand's most celebrated chefs.

SUAY (สวย) means beautiful in Thai. Every plate is built to earn the name.

— Four letters, one promise

S

Sassy

Bold seasoning, well-judged. Chef Tammasak's plates have attitude — and the chops to back it up.

U

Unique

Thai roots, European technique, surprise everywhere. Foie gras meets betel leaf. Sea bass meets banana leaf and sea grapes.

A

Authentic

Family-run since 2010. Recipes built on lifelong cooking and the family that's stayed close ever since.

Y

Yummy

The only review that matters is the empty plate. Eight Michelin Plates in a row suggests we're getting somewhere.

— The place

A garden in Cherngtalay.

Twenty-six tables under garlands of light, set between palms and orchids. European technique, the Thai pantry, and a family kitchen that's stayed close since the first SUAY opened in 2010.

— An evening at SUAY

A walk through the night.

Twenty-six tables, one kitchen — and a story that unfolds from dusk to dessert.

Arrival.

It begins at dusk. The garden lights come on one by one, the tables are set under the palms, and the room hums into life.

Fire meets the pantry.

European technique on Thai ingredients. Torch, flame, and a wok that's been at the same hand since 2010.

A long pour, well-measured.

Fresh tropical fruit, tweezers and patience. The bar runs on the same idea as the kitchen — generous, but never careless.

The room.

Twenty-six tables. Family-run since 2010. Plates fly, glasses chime, and somewhere in the room a guest is taking the first photo of dinner.

— And then —

Fire, one last time.

A spoon, a saucepan, a meringue that's just been kissed by the torch. Eight Michelin Plates in a row, and a kitchen that keeps cooking like the first night.
